Abstract

The purpose of this study is to suggest ways to improve medical librarians' educational programs to improve domestic medical library user services. To this end, the role of medical librarians was investigated, and the education areas were itemized, and then the MLA in the US and the KMLA in Korea were compared and analyzed. As a result, the improvement points for medical librarian education programs in Korea are: First, expansion of certification programs that select various types of education programs, education areas, education contents, and specialized fields, collaboration programs with related institutions, and education programs that advocate the value of KMLA are required. Second, there is a need for various educational programs in the current educational areas, such as 'research support service' and 'education/education design/consultation'. In particular, it is necessary to provide 'consumer health information service' and 'disaster information service' for which there is no education at all. In addition, it is necessary to precede the establishment of regulations on the domestic medical librarian education curriculum for the education of various 'information services in the field related to medicine'. Third, it is necessary to provide online education contents for librarians who have difficulty participating in face-to-face education.

본 연구는 국내 의학도서관 이용자 서비스 향상을 위하여 의학사서의 교육프로그램 개선방안을 제시하기 위한 목적으로 수행되었다. 이를 위하여 의학사서 역할을 조사하여 교육영역을 항목화한 후 미국의 MLA와 한국의 KMLA 교육프로그램을 비교·분석하였다. 그 결과, 우리나라 의학사서 교육프로그램에 대한 개선점으로 첫째, 다양한 교육프로그램 유형, 교육영역, 교육내용, 전문 분야를 선정한 인증 프로그램의 확대, 관련 기관과의 협업 프로그램, KMLA 가치를 표방하는 교육프로그램 등이 요구된다. 둘째, 현행 교육영역 중 '연구지원서비스', '교육·교육설계·상담' 등에서 다양한 교육프로그램이 진행될 필요성이 있으며 특히, 전혀 교육이 이루어지고 있지 않은 '소비자건강정보서비스', '재난정보서비스' 제공이 필요하다. 또한 '의학 관련 분야 정보서비스' 교육을 위해서는 국내 의학사서 교육 커리큘럼에 관한 규정 제정이 선행되어야 할 필요성이 있다. 셋째, 대면 교육 참여가 어려운 사서를 위하여 온라인 교육내용 제공이 필요한데 이러한 경우에는 교육내용만 제공하고 의학사서점수 부여에는 차등을 두거나 점수를 부여하지 않는 방법 등을 제시하였다.
